THE LEGAL BRIEF
VOLUME 40, ISSUE 5
(Continued from page 1) President ’ s Message by Michael Young
the pace of change is fast. Justice Alexander told us how he began his legal career when the state - of - the - art technology in law offices was the dictaphone and the electric typewriter. Now we have the technology to allow a remote court appearance while wearing pajamas (at least on the bottom). We can be reminded of the importance of our relationships with our colleagues in the bar, some of which may last for decades. Your opposing counsel today may still be your opponent 40 years from now (or your judge), so you better try to get along! We can be reminded of the importance of mentoring the next generation of lawyers, just as Justice Alexander was mentored by the generation that proceeded him, and many of us were (and are) mentored by Justice Alexander and those in his generation. And we can be reminded of the importance of immersing ourselves in this community and being of service, so that we can leave a legacy that might be even a small fraction of that left by Justice Alexander.
Thanks, Justice Alexander, for sharing your memories with us, and for your years of service to our profession and our community. And welcome and good luck to our new colleagues!
